The star has donated the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the performances I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his recent tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his award prize money to good deeds.
In they earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release the album, frontman the singer declared that the band would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist divided her award across a few organizations, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," the artist shared with outlets.
Previously, they gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," said artist Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected several local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the properties.
